I think what this post really emphasizes most is the need to spec your pet for each instance you are doing. On Gruul, I go full out armor/health, skip resistances and pick up the usual dps talents and have no trouble whatsoever keeping klaatu up during the fight. Last night on VR, I re-learned the value of this because I got home late and didn't have time to pick up some Arcane Resistance for my pet and he got wailed on during the fight. Oh!

Take them. My guild has been 1 shoting gruul for the last three months. All the hunters always have their pets regardless of build. Worst thing you have to do is pull them out now and again drop a bandage and mend pet, back in they go. Pulling them out now and again helps too with the new 'get behind the mob feature' blizzard implemented. I find now and again mine gets out of mend pet range. Recalling it and sending it back in helps correct that if at least only temporary. Pets definately do not take damage from shatter. Take them.

Pets under effect of Bestial Wrath are immune to Kroshs AOE. Just be sure to pull the Pet back when it fades.

Are they only immune to the slowing debuff (”XXX is afflicted by Blast Wave”) or damage from the Blast Wave as well? Me thinks the former.

On full health, my pet could probably last ~10secs under a cave-in, so you have a fair bit of warning.

Don’t forget that damage from Cave-ins also noticably increases with Gruul’s stacking Grows.

But DisPater chews on Gruul all the way through. Guild got him down first time the other night, twelfth growth. I was second on DPS list too ;) not bad for a mere (odd spec) MM.....behind an Epic'd up Rogue. One question too. I got Romulo's poison thingy the other night as well and have it equipped for the sweeet +35 hit. But is it any good for Hunters otherwise / how often does it proc? (I got it for minimum DKP and no other bids, so wasn't expecting to win!). Tee hee, I didn’t know about cave-ins on pets, and so have never recalled or healed on Gruul!

There's so many point-blank moves and because I'm usually tanking the nature dude, I can't pay attention to my pet. On Gruul, using a pet is easy. Just watch out for the cave-in debuff next to your pets health bar. On full health, my pet could probably last ~10secs under a cave-in, so you have a fair bit of warning.
